Khan Academy Classrooms has a new mastery system that makes personalized learning easier than ever!

Hello teachers, I'm Sal Khan, founder of the not-for-profit Khan Academy, with the goal of helping you accelerate outcomes in your classroom.

I have an exciting announcement: what we are launching is a new mastery framework on Khan Academy. We have some of the most significant features ever around personalization and mastery learning, where your students can get as much practice as they need, as much feedback as they need.

The most important part of a mastery learning system is the teacher—the human being in the classroom. So, it's explicitly designed to increase human interactions, to give you, the teacher, insights on which students might need help and which students might need a little bit of motivation.

We've designed dashboards so that teachers can identify gaps and misconceptions in their students in real time. We've significantly added to the amount of content, not just in math—where we've always had tens of thousands of exercises from kindergarten through calculus and statistics—but also in high school and college-level sciences and the humanities.

Most importantly, it's flexible to meet your needs. This can be done in the classroom; it could be used as part of in-class practice, it could be part of review, or it can be done as part of homework.

We are seeing that classrooms that use Khan Academy for at least 30 minutes per week are seeing incredible gains in their student outcomes. I look at my reports a lot; I use data a lot to drive my instruction and to drive what I need to reteach. It tells me exactly where that student is and how many attempts they have done.

There's real data telling me, "Hey, the student is getting it wrong." They're not doing 30 problems and then realizing, "Uh, I don't know what I'm doing," and just making some really bad habits for myself.

So, thank you, teachers. All of us at Khan Academy are incredibly inspired by the work that you do day in and day out. Anything we can do to make your lives easier or to help accelerate the learning for your students, we are excited to do with you. [Music]
